Pointe of history.

Palmer Pointe sits on land with quite a story to tell. The old “Yellowstone Trail” ran along the top of the bluff that surrounded Lake Minnetonka and Zumbra. Covered wagons, stage coaches and other horse drawn traffic traveled this route on their way west. The Yellowstone Trail ran right past the Palmer House Hotel,
a genteel Inn of it's day.

A walk through the woods in this area will reveal the footings of the Palmer House gazebo, the remains of it's former fountain and it's celestial observatory telescope. Elaborate walkways to the gardens also survive and give a feeling of it's past grandeur.

At Palmer Pointe all this will be part of your neighborhood and although a hundred years have past, the area retains much of that feeling of simpler times, when open land went on forever and nature wove it's magic in your own front yard.
